I'm having trouble with my WiFi setup. I previously used a TP-Link TX1800U nano USB adapter, but it kept dropping the signal every few minutes, despite my attempts to adjust the settings in the device manager. I recently purchased a TP-Link AX3000 PCIe WiFi card, but when I tried to install it, I found that the slot is blocked by my GPU. I have an MSI B450M Tomahawk motherboard and an RX 9070 (non-XT) graphics card. I'm considering a PCIe riser cable but I'm unsure if there will be enough space. I'd love to hear any other suggestions!

Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your USB adapter. Sometimes it can overheat if it's too close to your GPU's exhaust. Just something to keep in mind!
You might want to just grab another USB WiFi adapter. They’re often cheaper and easier to set up, plus you don’t have to worry about dealing with the GPU blocking your PCIe slot.
